Tomorrow, the Italian
motorcycle manufacturer will roll out their latest model in
a nationwide premier at dealerships across the United
States.
 Building
on the extraordinary pedigree of the Monster lineup, Ducati
feels their new 696 represents the next generation naked as
well as a a statement of individuality. Ducati is hosting a
National Premiere on May 16-17 for interested riders at
select dealerships nation wide.
The powerful
Ducati L-Twin engine of the new 696 is an evolution of the
previous 695 version. Measuring 696cc, it boasts a series of
updates and refinements. Power output gets a 9% boost to
80hp (59kW) and an 11% increase in torque to 50.6lb-ft.
Maintaining its traditional Monster silhouette, the 696 now
looks more muscular than ever. Its wide tank tapers to the
thin waistline of a comfortable narrow seat ensuring
sure-footed confidence.
